Bird and nesting spaces are at risk and the plans will bring a big rise in people moving to this area. The infrastructure is not build to absorb this big rise in the population and in the long run the effects will be more carbon dioxide is exposed as more houses, more cars and more traffic will dominate the area and less green space will increase the risk of flooding due to the build-up on the land which currently floods in wet weather. Words: 262 2. A) The data in Figure 1 show that the main waste comes from the construction and mining / quarrying industry however while the waste generated in the construction industry has remained above 100 million tonnes per year, the mining / quarrying waste has reduced between 2002 and 2008 most likely due
Environmental health Unit 38 P1 Explain how human activity can damages the environment For years now we have been warned about human activity destroying our planet and environment. Some of the things that humans are affecting are Climate Change, Depletion of Ozone Layer, Pollution, Deforestation and Extinction of Species. Overcrowding, urbanisation and population growth Overcrowding can affect our planet more than some people think, Overcrowding means more people this means we use more natural resources this means the earth in the end isn’t going to have enough resources to support the growing population. Remember every person on the planet takes up space which could be used for farmland, and forests. People excrete wastes and litter that flow into water systems, and animal habitats, this is slowly polluting water and killing wildlife.
. The effects of migration; be it political, economic, environmental or social; have had both negative and positive impacts on societies in the ancient world. Therefore, Migration throughout Ancient Civilization played a large role in shaping the cultures, practices and ideas of societies for many centuries. The Indus Valley Civilization flourished along the Indus Valley from 2500 to 1500 B.C.E (Fitzsimons, 1970). At its height, the Indus Valley Civilization covered modern day Pakistan, parts of Afghanistan and most of western India (Fitzsimons, 1970).
Henry Whipple Mr. Manos CGI AP US History II Wars Being Discussed: WWI, WWI, War in Afghanistan December 10, 2012 Analysis and Consequences of Policy and Society During Wartime ✚ = OR Analysis and Consequences of Policy and Society During Wartime Throughout the history of the United States of America, the people have witnessed great change in various fields, be it the economy or the classes of society, among many other sectors. The ever-changing landscape of this nation has often looked especially different during the time of one war from the era of another, and has produced tremendous impacts on both the United States and her people. Particularly World War I and World War II, along with the war in Afghanistan that has yet to conclude, have had profound effects upon the American economy and society as a whole. While each of the World Wars pulled the nation out of economic despair and into an era of prosperity, the government’s misjudgment that preceded the Afghani conflict has led to massive spending and despair for the American society as a whole. In conjunction with the social outlook of the nation, the policies in particular that were implemented by the Federal government and the Federal Reserve preceding each clash played significant roles in determining the consequences of the wars and their aftermath in the United States.
Geography 101 13 July 2013 The Deforestation of the Amazon The deforestation of the Amazon is going to have catastrophic consequences. The legal and illegal results of chopping down trees in this great wetland, has dire consequences that our generation may not suffer but future generations will. “The Amazon is a vast region that spans across eight rapidly developing countries: Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana, an overseas territory of France. The landscape contains: one in ten known species on Earth; 1.4 billion acres of dense forests, half of the planet's remaining tropical forests; 4,100 miles of winding rivers, 2.6 million square miles in the Amazon basin, about 40 percent of South America” (“Amazon”). So you ask, why does it matter if we chop down a few trees?
For example, the increase in pollution because of the cars, factories, and natural gases, could be fatal to our atmosphere. Each year there are more cars in our world, factories produce more
As a result of man made activities such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, the amounts of all of these gases in our atmosphere has greatly increased. Forests are extremely vital as they assist in naturally removing carbon dioxide and other polluting gases from the air. The concentration of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere has increased by over 30% within the past two centuries and levels of methane have doubled. In cities, many human activities have contributed to the amount of air pollution we have. There are two main sources of air pollution: anthropogenic sources (human activity) and natural sources.
To what extent does the world have an energy crisis? There has been an enormous increase in the global demand for energy in recent years due to rapid industrial development and population growth, especially in the less developed countries. The crisis will become when demand exceeds supply. A crisis like this can develop as a result of industrial actions such as strikes and government refusal for the movement of merchant ships in or out of ports. The cause of these could be over-consumption or prices rising at oil refineries.
Today, climate change is being driven by the addition of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases to the earth's atmosphere at rates faster than the planet's normal mechanisms can adjust to. The result is increasing concentrations of these gases in the atmosphere, and because they trap heat, increasing temperatures. This hurts people, animals, and plants. How do we know this? Scientists predict that if the increase in greenhouse gas emissions continues unabated, temperatures will rise by as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of this century, potentially causing dramatic and irreversible changes to the climate.
Climate change may be limited to a specific region, or may occur across the whole Earth. Discussion of the predicted levels/amount of global climate change. Many greenhouse gases stay in the atmosphere for long periods of time. As a result, even if emissions stopped increasing, atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations would continue to increase and remain elevated for hundreds of years. Moreover, if we stabilized concentrations and the composition of today's atmosphere remained steady (which would require a dramatic reduction in current greenhouse gas emissions), surface air temperatures would continue to warm.
